Space Oddity Lyrics - 1969 [ep] - Steel Train

[Originally by David Bowie] 

Ground Control to Major Tom 

Ground Control to Major Tom 

Take your protein pills 

and put your helmet on 

Ground Control to Major Tom 

Commencing countdown, 

engines on 

Check ignition 

and may God's love be with you 

This is Ground Control 

to Major Tom 

You've really made the grade 

And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear 

Now it's time to leave the capsule 

if you dare 

This is Major Tom to Ground Control 

I'm stepping through the door 

And I'm floating 

in a most peculiar way 

And the stars look very different today 

For here 

Am I sitting in a tin can 

Far above the world 

Planet Earth is blue 

And there's nothing I can do 

Though I'm past 

one hundred thousand miles 

I'm feeling very still 

And I think my spaceship knows which way to go 

Tell my wife I love her very much 

she knows 

Ground Control to Major Tom 

Your circuit's dead, 

is there something wrong? 

Can you hear me, Major Tom? 

Can you hear me, Major Tom? 

Can you hear me, Major Tom? 

Can you.... 

Here am I floating 

round my tin can 

Far above the Moon 

Planet Earth is blue 

And there's nothing I can do.
